It's that time of year again - the YCNet summer photo contest is upon us again!

We know there are lots of artistic people among you, so now's your chance to show us. You don't need an expensive camera or lots of technical knowledge - we just want to see your creative ideas! This year, we'd like you to take a picture that fits into one or more of these themes:

Mental health

Relationships

Independence

Disability

Looking after siblings

Stress

 Email your photos to us at youngcarers@carers.org, and in your email let us know which themes the pictures go with, and tell us a bit about how you came up with the picture idea. Then, our panel of judges will choose the best 3 and they'll be used around the YCNet website!

Remember that our usual rules apply - you can't show your actual face in them. And nothing really rude either, please...

You can look at all the entries on our Imagecave gallery - http://usera.imagecave.com/YCNet/Summer_photo_contest_2008/ 

Get snapping, and good luck! 

are we allowed 2 send more than 1 photo each?

 

Hi Beth,

Yes you certainly are allowed to send more than one photo each.  You can send in as many as you like for each category ( well, not hundreds obviously! ) as we'd like to see as many as possible.

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know, the photo competition finishes at the end of this week - so you've got until the end of Sunday 10th August to send your entries in!

Looking forward to seeing some more.

The YCNet team.

Everyone's are awesome! I really like all of them!

Here's an entry from MaddiLeFrog, on the theme of "independence":

(Just to let you know, we won't be able to enter this one in the competition because you do need to have taken all the photographs yourself... but we wanted to share it here anyway because we think it's a great collage and poem.)

Wow, we've got quite a collection building up now - well done everyone! Only a few more days to go...

 

Ooh, it's all getting going, isn't it? Here's the latest entry, from Beth-custard, on the theme of "looking after siblings":

Beth, I love your latest photo - it's such a simple photo, but the message behind it is amazing. Well done!

They all are Lovely

 

Well Done All

thank you!!
